I just think the company needs to get out of the past and start offering things digitally. When that happens, just see how quick Oricon will snap to and finally digital sales will be included.

In recent times NEWS & KAT-TUN's sales have not been that great . Still , the at most out there marketing tactic they've employed is poster giveaway for their stuff . Other than that , nope
And yeah I agree with you over the digital format issue . It was considered a big deal at that time when they announced they were going to include photos of all the Johnnys (be it solo or group shots) on their official site as back then it was a taboo thing to them
They definitely need to keep up with the times & probably in future when Johnny-san passed the leadership of the company to someone else (maybe his niece Julie K who's the current president of JStorm records) , more prominent changes will be implemented
And for the record , when comes to marketing tactics (like mini live , handshake event , high touch & etc) , many other artistes in the market also do that too to drum up sales but AKB48 is just the most extreme . And is it really a must for them to do a 'general election' every single year & airing it live on TV (and then later in DVD for remembrance sake) ? That's really
